Happenings And Handicrafts At Old Town, Ipoh

IT HAPPENED ON ONE WEEKEND when one of my out-of-station friends dropped by to Ipoh and I took him to old town to walk around.... There is always some happenings during the weekends especially during the school holidays. Being a local, I do not go there often and it was a good opportunity for me to walk around since my guest was here in Ipoh that particular weekend.

Walking through the green alley....

... to a almost historic place....

This place used to be my ex-classmate's home...

It was more than thirty years ago,

I used to come here cos I was working nearby then...

And we used to order food from Kong Heng and ate them in her house here...

Elephant my friend the movie? This movie made me cry, really cry till my eyes were swollen but I enjoyed the movie. I think I watched more than once. The lady is really gifted, she sewed all those elephants?

that is exactly how we should preserve the legacy of our culture.. old buildings if renovated can be indeed great beauty and more attractive, to tourists.. it makes no sense to just replace all the old ones with expensive new ones..
